Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup ripe avocado (about 1 ½ avocados)
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1.5 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 cup icing sugar
• Few pistachios to garnish (you can use other nuts too)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 170 ºC (~338 F) and grease a loaf tin.
• Beat eggs and sugar together with an electric beater until light, fluffy and doubled in volume for about 5 minutes.
• Take another bowl and mash avocado well so that it is smooth and silky.
• Sift the flour and baking powder and add together with the mashed avocado in the sugar egg mixture. Fold gently, scraping down the sides of the bowl to mix thoroughly.
• Pour into the loaf tin, even out the surface and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes. Insert a skewer/knife into the center and if it comes out clean, then the cake is done.
• Allow to cool completely before taking out of the loaf tin.
• Pour icing when completely cool.
• Mix together the icing sugar and lemon juice until you have a firm but smooth icing.
• Use a knife to smear onto the top of the cake and sprinkle over crushed pistachios.
